    First- Owned since day one, well cared for 295k. Tranny replaced about 100k ago. Just recently noticed oil pressure sitting lower than usual...hovering around the 20psi (according the gauge).

    09 Tahoe....Bump steer after adding 20" on- help!

    I recently added some 20" (oem wheels) from 17" and now when I hit bumps I get some pretty bad bump steer...I assume the is from the added weight of the wheels and lower profile tires. Now my truck only has 6500 miles, but it does not have Autoride, just standard LT shocks. Could it be the OE...

    why no Diesel Tahoe/Yukons?

    Seems like that would have been 10x the seller as the Hybrid...and should have been cheaper to run, repair, good power,amazing torque ...etc and likely better fuel consumption(especially compared to the gas versions)... discuss...
